Dr House

I'm currently having my Radiology Student Selected Component/Module (SSC/SSM) in Royal Infimary.

It is absolutely AWESOME!!! But there were boring times as well; sitting in the dark rooms looking at scans, being shooted with questions, dozing off...making my partner nervous that he has to answer all the questions! LOL *honestly, can't really blame me, it's after lunch and the chair was really comfortable..and it's a DARK ROOM!* So sorry partner!!!hehehe...



We got to see billions of X-ray (so much that I'm kinda sick of them), carotid ultrasound/doppler, MRI, CT scan(can finally tell the diff between CT and MRI), BRONCHIAL STENTING*totally awesome*, bile drainage...........




This morning, we focused on Magnetic Resonance for the heart, so that's how we found out bout TAKOTSUBO! Anyway, the radiographer gave us a penny each and made us swear never to let go of the penny..then brought us into the MRI room. OMG...really felt the penny being pulled towards the machine! I'm sorry that I'm so SOHAI but I was so excited!!!




Anyway..what I really wanted to post bout..is my 'beloved' consultant! I think he is the 'god' for radiology. His eyes have in-built magnifying glass..em..more like microscope..and he made me feel like I'm colour blind! How can you tell dark grey from darker grey? He never stops impressing me and my partner how powerful he is!



But there's a downside...he's SO sarcastic! His facial expression never changes..permanently stuck with the serious look. He made such sarcastic comments/jokes that I have no idea how to react. He's just like Dr House. The health workers in the department has this love-hate relationship with him. They can't live with or without him! PLUS, he walks so bloody fast, I'm constantly running behind him!



Today, one of the radiographer told us that he's one of the LEGENDS in medicine. He understands the in and out of radiology, bout how the scans works and stuff...in fact, he's the only radiologist who's able to do that! Even the breast specialist radiologist had to consult him! I googled him up and he happened to have written some health guidelines. I mean..not in a million years I would dream that I'll meet a legend let along be under him!

It's been awesome so far...can't wait for more CHAing from the consultant!
Wish me luck!
